The 1994 Visual Languages Comparison

Diverse visual languages have been proposed, implemented, and published; but each is demonstrated on problems chosen by its authors. To make a fair comparison, the 1994 Visual Languages Comparison project proposed a set of three problems and solicited solutions to these problems in various visual languages. Submissions arrived for one graphic rewriting system-ChemTrains-and four data flow languages-LabVIEW, Prograph, Show and Tell, and VisaVis.<<ETX>>
